Mumbai: After accusing brother Aamir Khan of having an extramarital affair while still being married to Reena Dutta, Faissal Khan has levelled fresh allegations against the ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ actor.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Faissal claimed that Aamir not only used his power and influence to bring him down and brand him as mentally unstable, but he also wanted him to give up his signatory rights.
“For many years, since 2003, torture is happening to me by my family. And the torture is not of a small extent. My fundamental rights are being infringed upon. My family doesn’t respect me or trust me,” Faissal alleged.
“In 2005, Aamir came with the police and a doctor. He used his power to put me on medication and a nursing home against my wishes. In 2006, I went to Aamir’s other house where he let me stay. For some time, everything was fine. Then suddenly in 2007, he wanted my signatory right… And that would have made me zero as a human being. Giving up your signatory rights is losing all your rights,” Faissal continued.
“That’s when I left the house… I was shocked ke ab yeh log signatory rights pe aa gaye hain… I thought that this is total nonsense and I have to fight my family. All they try to do is try and defame me. They put out a statement saying that I am misleading public. But I have proof of everything that I am saying… This time, I got upset and decided to cut all ties with them to safeguard myself, my peace of mind and my dignity,” he added.
Aamir and Faissal had shared screen space in the 2000 film ‘Mela’.
Faissal believes that Aamir started getting jealous of him when people praised him for his performance in ‘Mela’.
“When I was working on my first film, Madhosh, which was produced by my father Tahir Hussain, my father called Aamir many times. He wanted him to hear the script. But Aamir refused. I was disappointed at that time and wondered why he doesn’t want to guide me, his own brother,” Faissal said.
“Then people started saying he is jealous of me. In Mela, my work was appreciated more than his work. That also triggered jealousy and sibling rivalry… Between 2003 and 2005, my family instigated him. And he told me to quit acting after Mela and then it was downhill from that time and everything went haywire,” Faissal claimed.
Faissal also believes that someone is instigating Aamir against him.
“Aamir was put in the forefront by the family to use his power. You need to be a person with influence to forcefully put someone under medication, put someone under house arrest. Aamir’s fault is that he listened to the family and did whatever wrong he was told to do. He was an adult in 2005 when he first came and took me. It was his stupidity and ignorance that he was brainwashed,” he said.
“He hurt the people around him amid the family politics… He will pay for his karma and for whatever he’s done wrong,” Faissal fumed.
Expressing his fear that Aamir might use his power and influence once again to destroy him, Faissal shared, “Aamir has a very strong pull with the police and many other people with influence. In 2005, he only came with the police and forcefully took me, which is against the law… If he could orchestrate that thing and at that time, he is more powerful now… I’m wondering what he can do now.”
“Aamir is not a criminal-minded person, but he might be instigated…. And I don’t know and fear what he would do this time,” he concluded.
